Hello. For a while I wanted to be a DO but I shadowed some PAs last summer and I think this would be a better fit.
Got a 2.56 sGPA, 3.0 cGPA, 3.7 non-science GPA. Had a rough couple years because I struggled with many issues and I ended up having to retake organic chemistry like 3 times as well as physics twice and it really messed up my GPA.
I have a PA pre-req GPA hovering around a 3.3ish.
Here are my grades:
Bio 1+lab = B
Anatomy + lab = A
Human Physiology (had to retake 2 times and my prof was horrendous, class average was a D) = C, C-
Microbio = A
Chem 1 = B-
Chem 2 = B-
Orgo 1 = B+
Orgo 1 lab = A-
Biochem = C+
Stats = B+
Medical terminology = A
I plan on retaking about 15 credits this semester to bump up my science GPA and pre-req GPA but I feel kind of hopeless I plan on retaking biochem and physiology along with some other bio classes. Will I be able to get into any schools even if I don't have a 3.0 science GPA minimum?
I've published a paper in a journal. Was vice president of an organization. Volunteered at a hospital as well as maternity center over the course of 3 years. And I'm spending the next year as a medical assistant at a derm office.
What should I do to improve my odds?
